Description Luca Ferretti 2005-06-15 13:58:12 UTC
***** console log ************
Byte-compiling python modules...
_init__.py _dbus.py decorators.py exceptions.py services.py  File

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
***** end console log ********

There are some troubles at runtime too, i.e. launching hal-device-manager. Same
syntax error message. I'm using python 2.3 over a Mandrake 10.1 Community.
Comment 1 Colin Walters 2005-06-15 14:12:52 UTC
You need Python 2.4, AFAIK.  Probably the configure script should warn you about
this...
Comment 2 John (J5) Palmieri 2005-06-29 12:12:59 UTC
I'm going to close this to clear off the list.  As Walters said 2.4 is required.
 The configure.in script now reflects this requirement.
